Ingredients

FOR THE SHRIMP AGUACHILE:

3 limes juice only
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 habanero pepper
1 manila mango a little bit unripe
1 piece of fresh ginger about 1 teaspoon
7 oz. raw shrimp peeled
Salt and pepper

TO MAKE THE TOSTADAS:

3.5 oz. corn flour masa harina
1 teaspoon lard
10 2.5 ounces warm water

GARNISH:

¼ medium red onion finely sliced
1 green onion finely chopped
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
Avocado oil

Instructions

Place lime juice, vinegar, habanero pepper, chopped mango, ginger, salt, and pepper in the blender. Process until you have a very smooth sauce. Place this sauce in a bowl and add the shrimp to marinate. (The shrimp will cook with the lime and vinegar acidity)
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the tostadas. Mix masa-harina with the lard and warm water until you form a smooth dough. If it needs more water, add a few teaspoons at a time.
Divide the dough into 8 small balls, and form the tortillas.
Cook over a hot griddle, turning twice. Let them dry on the griddle until they are crispy. Remove and place on the serving plates. (You can also use regular store-bought tortillas and toast them on the griddle.)

To serve, divide the shrimps over the tostadas and garnish with the red and green onion and chopped cilantro, as well as a few drops of avocado oil. Enjoy!

Notes

You can use store-bought tostadas.
